Columbia College Archives & Digital Collections recently acquired material relating to the history of the Sherwood Community Music School that included stamps with images of famous composers such as Franz Schubert, various instruments, and musical notations that had been used in catalogs and other publications.

Unlike ordinary stamps, these stamps are made of metal and contain very fine detail. Rather than blotting the stamps on an ink pad and stamping them, they require a more sensitive technique in order to see all the stamps had to offer.
